    800 so far! Just wondering, would eating back the calories negate the total weekly burn? I'm still keeping a net of 1550(ish) per day...

    If you burn 3500 calories in a week and in that same week eat 3500 calories from exercise then you will stay right about the same. Weight gain comes from eating an additional 3500 calories (per pound) than what you are normally taking in, minus the exercise. Exercise calories that are consumed will allow you to maintain your weight for the most part. :) Hope this helps!
